Lasting Light

When stars come out in dark of night they simply reappear in sight. How would they flee the light of day or to what reaches fly away? Appearances deceive indeed we’ve seen exalted truths decreed like Ptolemy’s dethroned, amen, by Galileo’s greater ken. Are ‘black holes’ what they’re said to be or something else we do not see? And what preceded that ‘big bang’ assumed as how creation sprang? Repeatedly it must be faced that what we know will be replaced by deeper knowledge, still in flux, for certainties may miss the crux. What thought can fathom vast expanse of universe’s cosmic dance? Is death the end, or like a sleep? Oh may a seeking mind we keep eternal as our queries seem thus as stargazers dare to dream and let imagination cry there must be more than meets the eye! ~ Harley White
